Taxus baccata 'Stricta'
Stricta English Yew
Irish Yew (Taxus baccata ‘Fastigiata’, also known as ‘Stricta’) gives the garden a strong vertical line. Upright branches carry dark green needles, creating a narrow evergreen column that becomes substantial with age.
Use its height to mark an entrance or anchor a formal planting.
Suitable for sun or shade.
